From now on, we will talk more about our education policy with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education Lee Ju-ho.



Q. What are the countermeasures against the side effects of the 'Study and Integrated CSAT'?



[Lee Joo-ho/Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: I believe that the humanities should never be neglected.

As we move toward advanced science, in that respect, in fact, liberal arts and sciences have been integrated, and in that respect, if there is such a disadvantage in the CSAT you raised earlier, I think the authorities should actively try to resolve it.

In the end, it seems that such a structural problem has no choice but to find a way to solve it a little during the admission process by consulting with the university authorities or large corporations.]



Q. The full introduction of the high school credit system in 2025...

Changes in entrance exams?



[Lee Joo-ho/Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: It's the 2028 school year entrance exam.

That is related to the high school credit system or absolute evaluation, so I am thinking about it now.

In fact, up to now, the class has been centered on memorization education.

As a result, it was true that teachers were less reliable when evaluating children's leadership and creativity.

However, if the class goes to foster creativity or leadership, at least the public confidence of admission will be much higher.

That's why you can really trust the teacher, trust the school, and increase the reliability of admission.]



Q. 'SAT abolitionist'...

Is the CSAT abolished?



[Lee Joo-ho/Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: It's my conviction, but as a minister, what I'm saying is that the Yoon Seok-yeol government's entrance exam policy focuses on predictability and stability, so there won't be any big changes, so I'm telling you to be relieved. I want to give you

However, by focusing on changing the classroom, which is the core of education, that is now strengthening the system.

That way, I think the pain of the entrance exam can really go away in the long run.]



Q. Superintendent-provincial governor running mate system…

Any comments?



[Lee Joo-ho/Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: Actually, I was the first person to submit the bill when I was a member of the National Assembly.

I even tried running myself.

There are too many problems.

That's why I think it's right to go to the Running Mate system.

Right now, the direct system is really politicized.

So, since it's an election that costs too much money, there are a lot of bad cases where a lot of interests are involved.]



Q. Introducing full-time elementary school care...

What about teacher resistance?



[Lee Joo-ho/Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: I'm going to try a variety of models.

So, there are a few models that the Office of Education is taking on now, and they are very popular.

So, how to spread that part, and it may come out that the local government is in charge, actually.

In the case of rural areas.

So, this is the idea that we will solve those problems, try various things, and spread them nationwide.]
